Scraping data from a community wall on VK (Vkontakte) using the VK API requires authentication and making requests to the API endpoints. VK provides an official API that you can use to access various data, including posts from community walls.

Here's a general guide on how to scrape posts from a community wall using the VK API:

1. Create a VK App:

   • Go to the VK Developers website and create a VK app.
   • Obtain the "App ID" and "Secure Key" for your app.

2. Authentication:

   • Get an access token to authenticate your requests. You can use the Implicit Flow for user authentication or the Client Credentials Flow for app authentication.

3. Make API Requests:

   • Use the obtained access token to make requests to the VK API. The endpoint for getting wall posts is wall.get.
   • You'll need the community's ID or screen name to get its wall posts.

Here's an example using Python and the requests library:

import requests

# Replace with your VK app details and access token
app_id = 'your_app_id'
secure_key = 'your_secure_key'
access_token = 'your_access_token'

# Replace with the community ID or screen name
community_id = 'your_community_id_or_screen_name'

# API endpoint for getting wall posts
api_url = f'https://api.vk.com/method/wall.get?owner_id=-{community_id}&count=10&access_token={access_token}&v=5.131'

# Make the API request
response = requests.get(api_url)
data = response.json()

# Extract and print the posts
if 'response' in data and 'items' in data['response']:
    posts = data['response']['items']
    for post in posts:
        print(post['text'])
else:
    print('Error fetching wall posts')

Note: Make sure to handle errors and check the VK API documentation for more details on available parameters and responses.

In Scrapy, you can control the caching behavior of requests made by rules in your spider by adjusting the dont_cache attribute in the Rule object. The dont_cache attribute, when set to True, indicates that the requests matched by the rule should not be cached.

Here's an example of how you can use dont_cache in a CrawlSpider:

from scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractor
from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule

class MySpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = 'my_spider'
    allowed_domains = ['example.com']
    start_urls = ['http://example.com']

    rules = (
        # Example Rule with dont_cache set to True
        Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=('/page/')), callback='parse_page', follow=True, dont_cache=True),
    )

    def parse_page(self, response):
        # Your parsing logic for individual pages goes here
        pass

- The spider is defined as a CrawlSpider.
- The Rule is created with LinkExtractor to match URLs that contain '/page/' in them.
- The dont_cache=True attribute is set to True in the Rule, indicating that requests matched by this rule should not be cached.

By setting dont_cache to True, Scrapy will make sure that requests matched by this rule will be fetched without considering the cache. This is useful when you want to ensure that each request to the specified URLs results in a fresh response, bypassing any cached data.

SIP is a virtual telephony service. A proxy server in this case is used to collect traffic, its conversion and further transmission to the subscriber via cellular communication. It is mainly used by call centers to communicate with customers.

The proxy settings in Zoom are configured through the regular Windows settings. To do this, you can use the command inetcpl.cpl in "Run". Next, you need to go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Setup". In the dialog box that opens, select "Proxy server" and set the required parameters. As a port, you can use 80 and 443.

In CentOS, if there is no graphical interface (from the terminal), proxy configuration is done through the export http_proxy=http://User:Pass@Proxy:Port/ command. Accordingly, User is the user, Pass is the password to identify you, Proxy is the IP address of the proxy, and Port is the port number. If you have DE, the configuration can be done via Network Manager (as in any other Linux distribution).
